This is all slightly baffling. I am sure it is indeed, a British designed, and probably built, sloop-type, revenue cutter. The jack, though, makes it certain that it was serving in the KMT Navy, rather than CMC,  at the time of the mishap.   A near sister of this type of ship is still serving  with the Royal Thai Navy.
